Creating a DB link to a higher version I had to use the global_name from the target server ( select global_name from global_name ).

There is just one slight problem;

If the global_name has NO extention like .WORLD the database link will be automaticly created with de .US.ORACLE.COM in the databaselink-name.
In this case it differs from the glodal_name on the target server and won't match !!

I'd like to know how to get rid of the .US.ORACLE.COM in the databaselink-name ????

Creating the link by script or using OEM doesn't make any differance. . .
